Here's the output from lshw -C network:

As you can see there are no drivers for the wireless card. When I downloaded
madwifi and unpacked it and copied it to /usr/src to build it, I get the
following error on make:

Is this error due to the linux kernel?
Anyhow, I am not able to install the driver and that I think is the first
problem I need to solve to enable wifi once again on my laptop? Can you
suggest a solution to this or would I have to go back to Jaunty to get back
my wireless connection?
Best,
Richa
